coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 12:35 pm If it were a crack we would see the edge of that area raised. Looks like it has lifted a bit moved a little. The edge looks like you could see under it? Report this Post to the Staff

I mean struck though extra metal that is still attached, but like Coop mentioned it should be a bit over weight. Your coin is under weight. Are you sure your scale is accurate? Is the reverse side normal? Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 1:19 pm I cannot see where that little bit of extra metal would make enough difference in weight to be noticeable on a scale. I notice, when weighing cents, that the weight will vary by at least .05 g. I see no way to tell whether that kind of variance would be attributable to the extra metal or not.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 1:49 pm I can't tell if it is a lamination or a retained strike through. It MIGHT be a struck through rim burr but it seems a little large for that. Report this Post to the Staff

I weighed 5 more LWC cents after I weighed this one and they all came in at 3.1gm. Quote: The edge looks like you could see under it? Maybe, it actually looks almost like I can pry it off. Not gonna try though... Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 5:39 pm With the rim disturbed as is and the flatten devices in the affected area seems a lamination pushed up and someone or something in its past, may have helped push it back in place. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
